When considering a global clinical trial, think locally

By Ran Frankel / September 29, 2011

The challenges of managing a global clinical trial, whether in Europe, emerging countries, or any other point on the globe, are essentially very similar, regardless of the country. The biggest challenge is to understand and leverage the local nuances and flavors upfront! A simple and systematic approach will make the decision whether to conduct your trial on a global level easier.

The three main areas to explore are:

Patient safety

Data integrity

Regulatory compliance

In order to satisfy any concerns related to these three areas in the country you select for your trial, you should consider critical success factors:

Conduct a thorough feasibility study prior to the country selection

Clarify the standard of care for this indication, available treatments, and cost and reimbursement issues
